What his chart says about him

Built to begin. Says yes before the plan is finished and gets everyone else moving. Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.
The Sun conjunction Venus (close at 2.2°)
What he needs
Moon in Scorpio, the Vault
Feels hard and shows little. Needs loyalty, privacy and a few people worth trusting completely. His feelings run large: he wants more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gives.
The Moon square Jupiter (close at 2.1°)
How he loves
Venus in Taurus or Aries, the Keeper
Loves slowly, loyally and through the senses. Once someone is let in, they stay in, and they are cared for in ways they can touch. Affection and the need for control keep getting in each other’s way, and trust takes him time.
